Answer:The isotope is Carbon-12 and its atomic mass is 12.

Explanation:

Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.

Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.

An isotope of a chemical element is an atom that has a different mass number but the same atomic number as the element. The difference in mass number is from the number of neutrons (that is, a greater or lesser atomic mass) than the standard for that element.

Carbon-12 is an isotope of carbon it has 6 neutrons and 6 protons, giving it a mass number of 12 and atomic number of 6. Carbon-12 is a stable isotope of carbon, it has the same mass number and atomic number as carbon.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

The phenomenon of radioactivity was discovered by the French scientist Henri Becquerel in 1896 when he placed photographic paper in a drawer with some radioactive rocks.

We have to note that Becquerel did not discover that the amount of exposure on the paper was proportional to the amount of uranium that was present in the rocks hence the stetement is false.

What is the relationship between elements ,atoms ,and compounds
Svetach [21]
Elements are separate particles that contain the properties of only one type of element (pure substance) and an atom represents that element as the smallest non divisible particle that retains the properties of that element. Compounds can be formed by conjoining different atoms together in different ratios and shapes, so a combination of elements.

Sketch two amino acids side-by-side, on one of them label the functional groups, then show how the two can be joined together.
Alinara [238K]

Answer : The sketch of two amino acids side by side are shown below.

Explanation :

Amino acid : Amino acid are the acid that contains two functional groups which are carboxylic group, -COOH and ammine group, -NH_2.

When the two or more that two amino acids join together with the help of peptide bond, they produces polypeptide chain or protein.

The bond present between the two amino acid is called a peptide bond.

The peptide bond is a chemical bond that is formed between the two molecules when the nitrogen of one amino acid react with the carbon of another amino acid by releasing a water molecule.

Hence, the sketch of two amino acids side by side are shown below.
